Rodney Jackson Peete is a high school student, as well as an intern and mentor at the Speech and Language Therapy Center in Los Angeles, which he attended as a young child. He provides support and help to other young children on the autism spectrum. Rodney loves making rap music, modeling, watching sports, and dedicates his spare time to help spread autism awareness by traveling with his mom and speaking to families about his experiences living with autism. RJ's mantra is: "I may have autism, but autism doesn't have me." RJ is so proud to co-author his first book, "Same but Different," with his mother and twin sister.
